It also includes the fascinating story of one female fighter controller’s chance to fly in a Phantom during the 1970s. Throughout the book Richard Pike captures the drama and emotion of life in the cockpit. With such detailed stories, readers will be gripped by this captivating book.

“…a most suitable follow-up to Phantom Boys, Volume 1, with more scintillating stories from both the front and rear cockpits of one of the world’s most legendary jet fighters… an excellent treatise on flying one of the world’s greatest tactical fighters in the colors of two major world air forces.”

"Pike has done an excellent job of drawing the reader into the cockpit and then into the skies. The shared tales are engaging and quickly read. While each tale is relatively short—typically less than fifteen pages—all are packed with the details, sights, and sounds of flying one the modern age’s most iconic jet fighters."
